Adventure Camps for teens in military families

The University of Maine Cooperative Extension has received funding through the U.S. Department of Defense to provide adventure summer camps to teenagers with a family member (parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle or cousin) currently or recently in the service. The only cost associated with the camps is a $10 registration fee. If space is available, youth may register for more than one camp.

Tanglewood, Blueberry Cove, and Bryant Pond 4-H Camp and Learning Centers are operated by the University of Maine Cooperative Extension in midcoast and western Maine.

The program is available to teenage children of service members in the active, reserve and guard components; teens of military civilian contractors also are eligible.
